Yes, if the election is done in the traditional way, the people will choose and should trust the choice whether they agree or not. Something, BTW, that the Left chose not to do in 2016. If America chooses to follow Biden and the Left then so be it. Just don't expect all the states and counties to OBEY executive orders or even laws that infringe on Constitutional rights. Those are off the table under ANY administration. I truly do not mean this as a poke in fact in a weird obscure way it might could be a compliment, But, there is no way anyone will convince me that you will accept a 2020 loss by trump, no matter what, even if trump himself said duncan, i got beat, you wont accept it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+susieice Posted June 4, 2020 #27 Share Posted June 4, 2020 (edited) I haven't heard anything negative about the beach crowds. New Jersey hasn't spiked because of Memorial Day. California says their cases are rising. I have no more problem with my mask and watching how close I get to people than I did before. I don't have a compulsion to touch everything I see. I have soap and water and hand sanitizer. I've been through the worse and as long as I don't hear of any major spikes in my area I'm good.

People going nuts on beaches here, i do wonder if a couple things are taking place, some are not getting badly sick and hot weather slowed it down, I use my mask around others and keep clean. Hopefully we will all be okay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea that you can catch it by just coming within six feet of another person momentarily is all a scam. Good Lord. ANY virus that takes up in the lungs is contagious from six feet genius, Covid exists or shall you offer to take a stroll maksless through the nearest Covid ward? You want to know about Covid? My oncologists face talking about one of his cancer patients with it..its not pretty. None of this is a scam. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were by far the worse spot in the country. The protesters there were packed together and they weren't out of the red zone yet. We are just going to yellow now where I am on Friday. I'm ready to get out a little myself now but will still keep using all precautions. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travelnjones Posted June 4, 2020 Author #33 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Well my point was the quarantine is like a ballon that has now been popped. that is by the nature of any quarantine a gate holding back the viral hordes. But when the gate has been breeched. What the point of still having a toil person still sitting at the gate? It's the masque of the red death now with the virus in with everyone. If you are two steps away from a person who has attended a protest you have risk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are two steps away from a person who has attended a protest you have risk. I think I said this before, it must depend on where you are because we have not had riots like you intimate are going on "everywhere" so the protests have not ended the quarantine. Most places were loosening up the rules except for wearing masks in public before the incident that triggered the protests. Quarantine will still happen for anyone who is tested positive for the virus. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well sure, most people and experts agree trump blundered in acting too slow in his covid response start and now jumping too quickly to reopen in hopes he can salvage any shread of his 2020 win chances, so sure i agree with you that trump will sweep reports of covid spikes under the carpet, its all about him trying to look good in the eyes of his dwindling few brainwashed worshippers, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember how Trump was complaining about how it was China's fault because they gave false/conflicting information? In this case Trump=China and the individual states=Trump. Pandemics are a national emergency and the CDC is an federal agency. Just because Trump gave up/dropped the ball and forced the individual states to try to solve this national problem doesn't mean that he absolved himself of responsibility. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's interesting because Fox news is pro-Trump, and based on some of the UK people all they get is pro-trump news, maybe you could ask Bee where she gets her news.

I don't have cable or satellite and the local network affiliates that I receive over the air are all very liberal and one sided. Honestly, I don't pay attention to much of it besides the weather and a few local happenings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly, the local CBS station also owns the local FOX station. None of them are balanced, even PBS seems to have an agenda sometimes, but is more balanced than the other 3. ABC is owned by Disney. I don't trust any of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the local affiliates calls themselves Fox, but it's not the same as the cable version of Fox News. They bill themselves as "all local, all the time" and don't even have a national news show. I mostly watch the local news on the NBC station because I have a crush on the news lady. I turn it off when the national news comes on. I have no idea who owns what and I don't care. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, yeah, I threw in the Fox station but they do not have national news. They just have the same local news that the CBS affiliate has and all the Fox entertainment shows. I have watched some cable news (I don't have cable either, waste of money if you have internet) and there is no real difference than the local national news shows except that they will air a story ad nauseum that they are invested in. 24 hour news does not add anything to the quality or content of the news we get. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Posted June 5, 2020 #50 Share Posted June 5, 2020 When we were in Ireland every hotel had CNN but not FOX. At home I read the news on the internet. I'm sure a lot of people there do too. Between the internet and cable anyone can get the news from anywhere. I read AU from Australia at least a few times a week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
